Features
The DES-6300 is a high performance modular switch platform that allows a customized
array of Layer 2 and Layer 3 functions to be easily installed and managed in a single
device. The Switch is ideal for expanding enterprise networks and environments where
traffic volume and needs fluctuate.
Switch features include:
Chassis
The chassis is the main unit that modules and power supplies are installed into. A CPU
module and a power supply module come preinstalled in the chassis.
Chassis features include:
♦
Six slots for installing networking modules (plus one slot reserved for the CPU)
♦
Two slots for installing redundant power supply modules
♦
31.99 Gigabit/sec. (Gbps) backplane switching fabric
♦
Hot-swappable design for power supply modules
♦
Networking modules warm-swappable (except CPU module)
♦
Ears and screws for rack mounting
Switch Modules
The plug-in modules available for the switch are optional except for the CPU module.
These modules are described below:
CPU Module
